In The Silence in Me, the invisible is made visible: the moment when thoughts dissolve and only the feeling of presence remains. The figure, gently bent and half-shrouded in shadow, seems caught in a whisper of light and emptiness. There is no looking outwards, no desire to speak - only the subdued beauty of turning inwards.
The brushwork is loose and intuitive, with smooth transitions between light and dark. The shades - beige, white, grey and deep black - seem to breathe, like layers of feeling superimposed. The contours blur, as if the boundary between body and background no longer exists. What remains is a fragile presence: a human being that momentarily stops moving to be.
The work breathes silence, but not the silence of emptiness - rather that of rest, of a moment in which one finds oneself among the noise of the world. The Silence in Me invites one to slow down: to listen to what is not spoken, to feel what is left behind when everything falls silent.
It is an ode to vulnerability, to inner strength, to that soft, elusive part of us that comes alive only when we dare to be still. In that silence lies not loneliness, but presence - the beginning of feeling again, being again. Modern Abstract.
